Okay, Nathan's ped. gave us the okay to start him on solids at his four month check up. For the last two months I've mostly just been introducing different flavors. He never really ate a lot. Now, he has actually started to eat. How much should I let him eat? He will eat a small jar (2.5oz.) in the morning and another at night. I don't know if I should only give him one jar a day or maybe I'm not giving him enough. How much should a six month old be eating? Thanks for the help.

when my daughter was 6 months she had an 8 oz. bottle when she gets up in the morning, about 2 hours later she eats 4 oz. of solid and the same of juice or water, the folowing meal was the same then another 8 oz. bottle and another 4 oz of solid with 4 oz. of liquid. now at 7 months she eats 6 oz of solids 2x a say (still having 4 oz. liquid with it too) but as long as he seems satisfied and isnt getting upset tummy or gaing too much that should be fine

Hi,my son will be 5 months the day before Thanksgiving. I'm not sure if I'm giving him too little or too much either. I give him 3 TBS of rice cereal mixed with formula and a 2.5 oz of fruit in the morning and in the evening I gave gim the same amount of rice but with 2.5 oz of vegetables! Since he has been on his fruit he doesn't like his rice cereal as much,it's starting to worry me. I think there is other cereal he can have though. And of course his Similac..Good luck
